VILLAGE-TO-VILLAGE NETWORK

In 2010, the Village to Village Network – a national organization that collaborates to maximize the growth, impact and sustainability of individual Villages and the Village Movement – was formed. The Network provides expert guidance, resources and support to help communities establish and maintain their Villages. Visit the Village-to-Village Network website.

CALIFORNIA VILLAGE COALITION

The California Village Coalition (CVC) is a statewide coalition designed to provide leadership and leverage the power of the village movement throughout the state. The CVC plans to raise the profile of the villages through its branding and communications. It also hopes to strengthen the collective impact of the villages in California, accelerate the growth of the statewide movement and ensure villages’ long-term sustainability. With generous support from the Archstone Foundation, 2017 marks the beginning of a three-year design and implementation phase for the CVC. The CVC is guided by a Leadership Team comprised of 14 representatives hailing from 11 villages across the state.
